Would removing part of leaf ride better?

[zeake]

+1 i i did not have uses longer ones but, when i tighten up my the u-bolts it came close to where i was almost out of thread. the u-bolt ended up being too long.

ill get a pic so you can see what im talking about.

it took me 30 mins to do the whole job.

A Pic would be great. Would washers work instead of new bolts?

Thanks for all the replies.
